Fortunately, Chernobyl health records are now available to the public. They show that people living in the radioactive traces fell ill from cancers, respiratory illness, anaemia, auto-immune disorders, birth defects, and fertility problems two to three times more frequently in the years after the accident than before. In a highly contaminated Belarusian town of Veprin, just six of 70 children in 1990 were characterised as “healthy”. The rest had one chronic disease or another. On average, the Veprin children had in their bodies 8,498 bq/kg of radioactive caesium (20 bq/kg is considered safe).
For decades, researchers have puzzled over strange clusters of thyroid cancer, leukaemia and birth defects among people living in Cumbria, which, like southern Belarus, is an overlooked hotspot of radioactivity from cold war decades of nuclear bomb production and nuclear power accidents.
Currently, policymakers are advocating a massive expansion of nuclear power as a way to combat climate change. Before we enter a new nuclear age, the declassified Chernobyl health records raise questions that have been left unanswered about the impact of chronic low doses of radioactivity on human health.
The reactions of the governments involved is bizarre.
This engineer should start making & selling fuel cells for custom electric car conversions. When the performance starts to be publicized, consumer demand would be high enough to get this tech into widespread production.
On thought: It would be very beneficial to identify the people behind-the-scenes trying to stop this tech.
why should i act so suprised
if it cannot kill or mame or make themselves rich, governments are not interested!!!
to me MP’s are jst as bad as drug dealers, mind at least you can get high and enjoyment from drugs!!
Tax, tax tax, eventually this device would ruin the worlds economy which is oil based. Imagine if you could fly without wings and take off from your backyard, this device takes that a step closer
Given the published specs for powering an EV, this fuel cell would indeed change the oil paradigm and usher in the age of the EV. That alone should make bringing this to market this most important thing we could do for the planet. We could cut car-based pollution to NOTHING.

The PTB will block any energy device that is efficient enough to challenge the fossil fuel based systems. The petrodollar must survive for a while longer. Freedom from the big utility companies is achievable, just think back to how people lived before the industrial revolution.
use kickstarter..

The government won’t support anything that doesn’t have a way of making money, either for them personally or as a tax cow. They go for Solar and Wind because they have a vested interest probably and it also means that because neither of these produce enough energy they can build more and ruin the countryside but it also means that the power has to be provided through conventional means and therefore their investments are safe. it’s always a case of “follow the money”. The wheel will turn, I wish I could have a fuel cell power unit in my house in Spain but I can’t afford it unless someone wants me to be a guinea pig. I thing FC technology is the best way forward and have done since 1996 when I first learned about it. Interestingly Mr Jackson I trained you when I was a PTI in the Royal Navy at Fisgard and again at Royal Arthur. Well done in producing the product I wish I could help you with sponsorship.
